Locked (l.h)

Nine

"You guys have fun yesterday?" Ashton asks, gulping down the beer Michael had sneaked into school.

"Yeah," Luke grins.

"So, the real question here is how long did you guys have sex for?" Calum asks.

"We didn't!" Me and Luke shout together.

"Aw, come on. We all know you guys aren't really 'friends'." Michael says, snatching the beer.

"Mike, why the hell would he be fucking her when he could be fucking them?" Calum smiles, looking at a group of girls whose clothes only just covered them.

"I dunno, maybe he has a thing for nerds?" Michael laughs.

"I don't have a thing for nerds!" Luke exclaims.

Michael rolls his eyes, "Course you don't. Anyway, what did you guys do yesterday if you weren't busy fucking each other?"

"Just hung out, talked and stuff." I answer.

"Jane, I thought you were back to stupid Sarah today, what're you doing here?" Ashton asks.

I shake my head, "We're not talking anymore, so I came and hung out with you losers."

"Sassy Jane is back is in the building!"

"Anyway," Luke smiles, turning to me. "Do you wanna come to mine tonight, for the night? I've got a great idea."

"Is this a group invitation or are you two having a date night?" Michael says.

"I told you, we're not dating!" Luke says, throwing his bag at him.

"Yeah, I'll come tonight, Luke," I laugh. "What's the plan?"

"SEX!" Michael shouts, before Luke covers his mouth.

"It's a surprise."

-

"So, Luke." I say throwing my bags onto his bed. "What was this great plan of yours?"

"You're gonna hate me."

"Why?"

He takes a deep breath, "We're going back to school."

"Luke, I just got back from school, I don't fancy going again." I sigh, taking a bite out of a large cookie.

"C'mon, me and the lads had this great plan to sneak in one night and cause chaos, I thought this could be the warm up."

"No. I'm not going Luke."

"I'll let you come to the next band practice." He sing-songs.

"Hmm...no. I'll stay here and eat cookies with your mom."

"We can take cookies to the school, please Jane, we can cause chaos and I'll let you take all the books and food and anything you want."

"Why is it worth going now? You can wreck the school tomorrow. "

"But it's more fun at night." He whines. "It's dark, and there's no teachers and we can run wild."

"You have to promise me one thing."

"What?" He asks, excited that I'm now interested.

"Well, you know that they mentioned that important assembly tomorrow?"

"The one that sounds super boring?" He asks.

"Yeah, that one. Can we stop it? Like, I don't know, release tennis balls all over the place or spiders or flood it."

His eyes light up. "Finally, I've got you to have a bit of fun! We're leaving at nine, remember your sleeping bag."

"Sleeping bag?"

"Yeah, I thought we could sleep on the roof, or in a classroom."

"Luke, why do want to sleep in a school? You've got a perfectly good house."

"How many people can say they've slept in a school? It'll be a great thing to tell your kids and grand kids and everyone."

"I guess, but won't your mom mind? I think she'll notice if we disappear for the night."

"I told her we're going to Mike's, she's not expecting us to be back tonight."

I grin, "Alright, I'll come. But there better be chocolate milk."

"Luke, slow down!" I shout over the music blasting from the stereo. Luke had decided to drive us to the school, which he wasn't very good at, and wasn't even legal.

"It's fine, Jack's been meaning to replace this car, it won't matter if we crash." He says, continuing to drive almost diagonally across the road.

"Crash? Luke, I didn't plan on dying until I was a lot older than this!"

"We won't die, I've done this before. I was just kidding."

"Oh, so stealing your brothers car and driving it to school in the middle of the night is a regular occurrence then?" I say sarcastically.

"Nah, normally I have to pick Mike up when he gets drunk at some party. Midnight driving is a specialty of mine."

Driving straight through the gate, which was surprisingly unlocked, he parks the car randomly in the middle of the parking lot.

"Luke, if we're planning on staying over night won't people be a bit suspicious if they find a randomly parked car in the morning?"

"And this is why you're the clever one." He says as he re-parks the car in an actual parking space.

"So." He begins, pulling bag after bag out the car. "Step one is..."

"You've actual planned this out step by step?" I interrupt.

"Yes, don't sound so surprised!"

"Anyway, what's step one?" I ask.

"Get into the school, which is easier than it looks."

"Luke, there's not exactly gonna be a key hidden in a plant pot or something-"

"Actually, it's hidden in this tree." He grins, stepping on a bench to reach the key tied tightly to a branch.

"Really? It's this easy to break into our school?"

"It is a pretty shitty school, not really worth breaking into."

I watch as Luke unlocks the door and switches on the light.

"Welcome, to Grenster High." He smiles.

"Where do we begin?" I ask, looking down the corridor that never seemed to end.

"How about Mr Jordan's room?" Mr Jordan is our French teacher, who insists on speaking only in French throughout the class, not even a whisper of English, and leaves Luke very confused.

"Why him? There's worse teachers, you could destroy their rooms." I groan.

"Jane, you're fine in his lessons 'cause you fluent in French. But me and the lads aren't, and he basically hates us." He says, continuing his path to the classroom.

"Maybe if you tried in lessons he wouldn't hate you." I snap.

"And maybe if you loosened up you'd have more fun."

"Look, I agreed to come with you, I can always go home."

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up. Now grab this, and let's get started." He smiles, throwing me a large black bag.

Carefully I unzip it, revealing what was inside and find 5 large cans of spray paint.

"You ready to add some color to this school?" He grins.
